"Don‘t belong nowheres, Father always called me ‘Dratâ€"youâ€"Bab !" Aunt Ruth sighed over this dolorous compound cognomen. ps o ns "Has thee no mother ?" Â¥4 "Onece. .

When Aunt Ruth . came,. down, she found her "wallentine" seated in Dinalhi‘s own rockingâ€"chair before the fire. While Dinah berself, down on the floor, had the almost frozen feet in her lap, warming them, and giving vent.to some vyery. unâ€" orthodox expressione of opinion as to the orderimng of Providence. "Sake‘s alive ! don‘t know‘s it‘s so, but the Lo‘d seems to pay a mighty sight. of tention to some folks and Torgit all about the rest. ‘Pears like chillin ought to be looked after anyhow. They ain‘t .though, half on ‘em! Things is queer in this world, i{ it is the Lo‘d‘s world 1" The poor little wandering child was soon wrapped in a warm shawl, and curled down on the Lounge in Aunt Ruth‘s pleasant room ; too much excited by the novelty of her position to sleepâ€"too comfortable: to do anything but hug her wooden treasure and stare, first at the pretty surroundings, then at the kind face at the fireside. â€" Sudâ€" douly she raised herselft on her elbow. "I likes you, ‘cause you look likeâ€" Dick I likes good black folks {" "NO, gently ; sleep." Dinah‘s erusty manner softened a‘little as she watched the greediness with which the cluld dsvoured the bigslice of bread and butter ; but she melted cutright when, as she finished her teast, the ‘"little white beggar‘ slid from her chair, mmdeought and kissed the big black hand, saying : "Dick said he heard there was> nangles thatlived somew‘ere an‘ took care of folks. Be you one." ' "Yes‘m. ~But I do. wish Dick was : wallentine. _ It‘s wery cold into his box." Aunt: Ruth and Dinah sat late iuto the night astily fashioning warm garments for the little one, and considering themselves well repaid by the delight with which they were donved in the morning. While happy little "Dratâ€"youâ€"Bab" was taking her breakfast by @he side of the kitchen stove a shadow darkened the winâ€" dow, and the little girl, looking up, exclaimâ€" ed, joyfally : "Oh, there‘s my Dick !" Dinash opened the door and bade him "eome ‘long in," giving him a jerk to facilitate his movements. Heo shambled bashfully in, andiin amoment the child‘s arms were around his neck, and her face, pretty in its unwonted cleanliness, nestled agnminst his black cheek, while she poured out a torrent of eager exclamations of satisâ€" frction at being a **wallentine." smutty face like stars from a mud hole, lifted apprehensively to the dark frce. When she at last released him Dinah took him by the shoulders and seated him firmly in a chair, * "Now," said she, "you‘s just aâ€"goin‘ to set there till you ‘splain this whole ‘rangeâ€" ment to me and Missus, An‘ you jest lay lout to tell the trufe, the whole trufe, an‘ noffin but the trufe all the way: throughâ€" that is,if ye kind.

In Australia the natâ€" ives seem to be diminishing in number, although, so far as we are aware, there,is & lack of exact information on the sulject, In New Zealand there is reason to believe that the Maori tribes are uluoflgnqu thinner from year to year. 1t has ‘éner- lly been nccepted as a mintter of wer» tanty that a similar process was® gbing on with regard to the North American Indians. There appears, however, to be good ground for at any rate modifying this view. Cohnâ€" siderable attention has been paid to the subject by well qualified engquirers in the United States and Canada, and great care has been taken in collecting trustworthy statistics, and in tracing varions lines of evidence and inference. â€" Professor Wilson of Toronto, read a paper at the recent meeting of the British Association, in which he maintained that the Canadian Indians werebeing to a large: extent absorbed by friendly amalgamation with the white popâ€" ulation, and that it was probable that this absorption would at length become comâ€" plete. With regard to the Indians of the United States, there is evidence to show that the process of extinetion is by: no means going on at the rate which has been often assumed, it, indeod, it can be said to be going on at all. It is all but certain on many grounds that the nuumbers of the Inâ€" dian tribes were formerly .grestly exaggerâ€" ated. . Colonel Mallery,..a. United .Htates official, . who sperks with authority upon the question, «expresses the opipion that when Columbus discovered Auteri®r there was not more than 500,009 Indians to the north of Mex:co, and that now, in the Uniâ€" ted States and Alaska mlonc, excluding Canada, there are something like 300,000. A considerable intermingling of the white and colored populations has taken plate since the time referred to ; and when this is allowed for and the Canadian Indians are added, it is probable that the â€"entire number of the North Amecrican Indians has not decreased at all. Colonel Mallory and Professor Wilson both look â€" hopefully upon the future of these interesting people, who, after all, whatever allowances and deductions be made, have suffered at differâ€" ent places fearfully at the handsâ€"of the white men. â€" The course of progress from a savage to m civilized condition is always slorunmitinsteted thak Sip Conadaipauy givilized as the English peasantâ€"perhaps, on the whols, more so ; and if the Indians in the States had as fair play as their Caâ€" nadian brethren, the process (of civilizaâ€" tion) would be much more rapid than it is.‘ The story of the contact of the rmces of Europe with the ‘red men‘ of America has so much that is tragic eand mournful in it, so much that is a reproach and a shame to the superiors in the struggle, that we are glad to get such gleams of light upon dark pages as these facts afford, and we trust that the wiser and more Christian policy of the white governments which has been purszed, especially in Canada by our own authorities during recent years, will be persevered in with happy results.â€"Sunday Magazine. & | wreivo .
